Ignore it. I assume you're running win95 or 98. You need to make sure that the shell= line in your system.ini file has the correct path to litestep.exe. If it's not perfectly correct, windows sees no shell and assumes something terrible is wrong. It's not.

slashes got stripped by the forums. I would check the path and make sure that you really installed LS to that folder. Sometimes the installer gets confused.

use a dos boot disk and edit C:\windows\system.ini
just pust the slashes in and you should be set, good luck:)
